We had the most enjoyable 2 nights stay with Olive & James at Cullentra House.
The hospitality was exceptional, & the scenery from their warm home was breathtaking. Everything was so perfect!
The breakfast made by Olive was absolutely delicious. She also gave us scones to go everyday.
James & Olive were so informative with restaurants to go to & also they helped us in our sightseeing plans each day.
We would stay here again if we were in the area. We recommend it to everyone .
Great views from every window. Cosy and efficient traditional B and B in the Glens. Not only were we offered a pot of tea and home made cake on arrival, after a long drive, but the breakfast was the best I’ve ever encountered, including fancy hotels. The hosts worked hard to give everyone a comfortable stay. The house is in the countryside very near the cute village of Cushendall. Plenty of easy, safe parking. Very quiet.
Cullentra House is a real gem! The hosts were so gracious - Olive offered us tea when we arrived in the afternoon and booked us dinner at Harry's in the town. Breakfast in the morning kept us full all day - no need for lunch!
Our room was BEAUTIFUL with a stunning view of the ocean. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Absolutely perfect.! We were sad that we arrived at alate hour gor the place was beautifully set on a hillside overlooking the water. Meticulous detail indide and out. Amazing breakfast . lovely people
Cullentra House was our favorite B&B in Northern Ireland. Olive and James are the most hospitable of hosts and they work together as a great team. Their years of experience hosting guests really shows, and it is no wonder this is an award-winning B&B. The breakfast was delicious with a large selection of dishes to choose from. Besides recommending somewhere to find dinner after our evening arrival they gave us many suggestions of scenic spots to visit in the area the following day. The shared family room was very comfortable, especially after Olive brought in some of their baked treats. Finally, a great big thank you to James for sharing his walking cane with me . It was a huge help after twisting my knee earlier in the day at Giant's Causeway. If we find ourselves back in NI in the future, you can be sure we'll be staying here again.
This property was spotlessly clean with incredible views. The food was plentiful and portions generous. The decor is beautiful and well matched.
On the downside our bathroom radiator didn’t work and the shower was so slow I couldn’t wash my hair. Also I found the bedroom cold as the radiator was only on once during our 3 day stay. We had no storage for our clothes as the space was utilised by the proprietor for bed linen etc. We had to have the window blind down for privacy as the window looked out onto the drive way so we had no natural daylight in our room. We were asked to pay in full on arrival which was unusual. The hand soap dispenser was broken and we were only allocated one hand towel for two of us. Sadly we felt disappointed with our overall stay at Cullentra House and in light of all the minor issues we would choose not to return.

Olive is a great host and willing to help her guests have an enjoyable stay at cullentra.
We were so very pleased with our two nights here. It was exactly as described. Olive graded us so warmly and we enjoyed a pot of tea and her fresh baked cake-while overlooking one of the most beautiful views. There was a smell of fresh baked bread as we arrived, which we enjoyed the next morning along with her delicious scones.
And everything was incredibly clean with fresh towels the next morning, even though I told her we didn’t need them! Keep in mind-for high maintenance travelers-these wonderful cottages don’t have HUGE rooms for massive amounts of luggage. We don’t travel like that, but I know some do. I read someone’s comment about their room being small. We had absolutely NO complaints. We completely enjoyed our conversation with Olive and her sweet husband over breakfast. And the town is absolutely delightful. Olive directed us to a place to wash our clothes which was an outside laundromat-we even enjoyed that experience!
On a three week driving tour of coastal Ireland, mixing hotel stays with B&B's, Cullendra House B&B in Cushendall earned our top accolades for hospitality and delicious food, with presentation awards each morning for beauty and style.Olive and her husband were amazing hists!
This was the best property we stayed in during our whole vacation. Olive and her husband James are brilliant hosts. The accommodations were outstanding. We will tell everyone who goes to this area to stay here.
This place is a gem. Breakfast was the best we had on our entire trip. Olive goes above and beyond; even calling to confirm dinner reservations for us.
Thank you for your hospitality, we had lovely stay!! Room was clean, with all amenities available, comfy bed and beautifull view! BTW he breakfast is very tasty. Especially home made scones and bread!
We would love to come back.
Cullentra House was a lovely stop along our Irish road trip. We arrived late in the evening and Olive welcomed us warmly, and served a delicious and beautiful breakfast in the morning. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was large. Quick but great stay!
